Gorgeous views and great guide! - What a great day! We were nervous that, being the rainy season, we wouldn’t be able to see much of Cotopaxi, but the clouds parted just as we arrived! What a gorgeous sight, and a nice walk around the lagoon. Then we had a nice drive to Quilotoa, which might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Pedro was a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable about the plant and animal life and answered our many questions about Quito and Ecuador. He made pit stops when we needed, took lots of pictures for us, and gave us plenty of time to explore so we didn’t feel rushed. 10/10 recommend!

Ayrton is the Top tour guide! - Our guide, Ayrton, was knowledgeable and spectacular. He kept us safe during all the Quilotoa hike. This was a complete experience that included history, culture, art, adventure, and nature. We highly recommend Ayrton as the best tour guide we’ve ever had.

My experience on the Cotopaxi Quilotoa tour - The experience was great; Pedro, our guide, was very interesting and answered all our questions. Although the weather wasn't perfect, we were able to see Mount Cotopaxi and the impressive Quilotoa Lagoon (beautiful for its color).

Highly recommended tour! - My guide Pedro was very knowledgeable and the tour so interesting. We even got to see rare Ecuadorean condors as they circled Cotopaxi volcano - its summit covered in a glacier. We visited the nearby lagoon and he pointed out many birds and flowers of interest. The magnificent Quilatoa was a highlight! A magical day!

Best guide to see Quito! - Diego is an awesome guide. He showed us so much of Quito in the 10 hours we spent with him. He was knowledgeable, patient, and his English was perfect. He seemed to know where to go to have the best views and the best weather. We could not have had a better guide to see the beauty of Quito.

Amazing day touring Cotopaxi and Quilotoa! - Pedro was an amazing guide, he constantly went above and beyond to make sure I had the best day and tour possible! It was a cloudy day so we drove around and up Cotopaxi to get the best views possible. After Cotopaxi we had a quick view of Quilotoa followed by lunch and then a hike down and back up. Overall 10/10 day made possible by Pedro.
